Chemical Sensitivity Filter




The number of people who suffer from chemical sensitivity is on the rise.

Fumes from household cleaning products, fragrances added to personal products, as well as volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) that off-gas from carpet, furnishings, adhesives, varnishes and other building products can be overwhelming.

One of the best ways to reduce your exposure to these pollutants is to carefully screen what is brought into your space. But you may not be aware that a problem may exist until it is too late---like new carpet or furniture.

And then there are some problems over which you may have little or no control such as a newly painted office, or off-gassing in a mobile home.

Using a carbon based air purifier allows you to be able to breathe healthy again. Long known for its ability to remove gaseous pollutants, it is even more efficient with the addition of an additive that is specifically designed to remove VOCs that continue to be used so frequently in so many products that we use daily.

PurerAir.com offers a heavy duty carbon-based cleaner that can eliminate chemical fumes 24 hours a day. And in addition to the 15 pounds of carbon, the filter canister also includes a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter to remove particles that are as small as .3 micron.

Filtering Indoor Chemical Fumes


Fumes from chemicals can have their source in a variety of places indoors. Chemicals used in the manufacture of carpet and the glues used to install it can be brutal.

Painting with anything other than low-VOC paint can cause volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) to off gas for weeks.

Pressed wood furniture, adhesives, varnishes, and stain products can all add to the unhealthy air quality.

Commercial establishments can also be chemical battlegrounds. Beauty salons, nail salons, and day spas can all be places where fumes can collect in the air to cause a miserable smell that can also produce chronic and long term health effects.

The bottom line is that breathing volatile organic fumes over a long period of time is not only uncomfortable because of the symptoms it creates, but dangerous. And there is a better solution than wearing a mask indoors.

Using an air purifier that is specifically designed to remove these chemicals is the best and most proactive step to take. Carbon filters have long been recognized as the best type of filter to eliminate fumes. And with an enhanced additive of potassium iodide this type of filter is unbeatable in its ability to effectively eliminate chemical odors.

PurerAir.com offers a 4-stage chemical filtration air cleaner that is sure to help clear the air of chemical fumes for good. Put it to work for you beginning today. See it now at http://purerair.com/healthmate_plus.html

Avoiding Paint Fumes


If your body reacts badly to paint fumes, it can be misery to have to breathe the air in an office, apartment, or home while waiting for the fumes to go away.

For those of us who are sensitive to these airborne chemicals, 5 minutes is enough to develop a headache, dry throat, and a general feeling of unease. Here are 3 ways to minimize your exposure to these fumes.

1. Use low VOC (volatile organic chemical) paint. Yes, it costs slightly more, but the fact that it can be used with very little smell involved makes it worth the extra cost.

2. Ventilate the room as it is being painted. Weather permitting, open the window and put a box fan in. Turn it so that it is blowing air out the window as it takes the air out of the room being painted. This is a cheap, no-frills way to exhaust any fumes and will also help the paint to dry faster.

3.
Use a chemical air purifier to eliminate the fumes. If you’ve not been the decision maker about the paint, and regular latex paint or even oil paint has been used, you will need to use a chemical air purifier to eliminate the fumes.

Some people can’t smell the fumes, particularly after several hours. But if you are sensitive to them, you will probably be able to smell them for days.

Using an air purifier that is specifically designed to remove paint fumes and other chemical fumes can boost your air quality and your quality of life.

Uses for Chemical Purifiers


Chemicals have made our lives better in many ways. But volatile organic chemicals that off-gas into indoor air can make breathing uncomfortable and unhealthy.

Here are 3 situations where a chemical air purifier should be used to improve health.

Beauty and Nail Salons
are notorious for the fumes that many of their products create. Walking through a mall and passing a beauty salon is all that is necessary to smell the fumes from perms, dyes and other products.

The smell is offensive even if you don’t enter the shop. Imagine he amount of fumes inhaled by one technician in a day, and it’s easy to see why this can easily become a menace to good health.

Fine Art Studios create visual beauty, but the air quality often suffers because of it. Oil based paints and solvents such as turpentine can become offensive quickly. They can lead to acute symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea. And feeling that way in the studio surely does not encourage creativity or even a desire to be there.

School Art Rooms use many of the same products that art studios use. The difference is that instead of one artist there are often as many as 20-25 students using products that off gas chemicals into the air.

Imagine 25 magic markers sending fumes into the air for a 25 minute class, and you'll probably agree that there’s no question that filtering these airborne chemicals shouldn’t be a choice.

PurerAir.com offers a chemical air purifier that is portable yet heavy-duty in its ability to keep air virtually free of chemical fumes. See it now at http://purerair.com/healthmate_plus.html
